Queer Muslims in Europe
I.B. Tauris (Verlag)
978-0-7556-0073-1 (ISBN)
Queer Muslims living in the country exist in this complex context and their identities are often disregarded as implausible. This book foregrounds the lived experiences of queer Muslims who migrated to Belgium because of their sexuality and queer Muslims who are the children of economic migrants. Based on extensive fieldwork, Wim Peumans examines how these Muslims negotiate silence and disclosure around their sexuality and understand their religious beliefs. He also explores how the sexual identity of queer Muslims changes within a context of transnational migration. In focusing on people with different migration histories and ethnic backgrounds, this book challenges the heteronormativity of Migration Studies and reveals the interrelated issues involved in migration, sexuality and religion. The research will be valuable for those working on immigration, refugees, LGBT issues, public policy and contemporary Muslim studies.
Wim Peumans is an associated researcher in the African Centre for Migration and Society at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. In 2016, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the same center, working on the Andrew Mellon funded project, "Governing Morality: Sexuality, Gender and Asylum in South Africa." As a fellow of the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO - Vlaanderen). He obtained his Ph.D. in social and cultural anthropology at the Interculturalism, Migration and Minorities Research Centre at KU Leuven. He has also been a visiting trainee fellow at the University of Kent - Canterbury. Peumans' Master's thesis was published as a book and his work has appeared in various journals, including Sexualities, the Journal of Diversity and Gender Studies, Studi Emigrazione/Migration Studies.
